PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS

Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage.
Report any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier
immediately.
Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate Amps,
Voltage, Phase, and HP ratings match your control panel and
power supply.
Many of our sewage pumps are oil-filled. If there are any
signs of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an ex-
tended period check the oil level in the motor dome and the
seal housing, if so equipped.
Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug on
top of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just cover the
motor. Do not overfill, leave room for expansion!
To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the unit
on its side with the fill plug at 12 o'clock. Remove the plug.
The oil should be within ½" (13mm) of the top. If low, refill
with an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the plug.
Oil is available in 5 gallon cans through our distributors. You
can also source oil locally at motor repair shops. Typical oil
brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis 932, Texaco Regal
R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil DTE Light.
Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assemblies.
Power cables should be torqued to 75 in. lbs. for #16 cables
and 80 in. lbs. for all other cable assemblies. Seal/heat sensor
cables, where used, should be torqued to 75 in. lbs.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (voltage/
phase supply).
Attach the extra label supplied with the pump to this manual
and record the model numbers and serial numbers from
the pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction
manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix it to
the control panel when finished with the installation.

LIFTING OF PUMP

DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
WARNING
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL
CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE
SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable at-
tached to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage electrical
and sensor cables while raising and lowering unit.
OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL/
BASE ELBOW SYSTEM
In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is
advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system to
facilitate installation and removal for inspection and/or
service. Most codes do not allow personnel to enter a
wetwell without the correct protective equipment and
training. Guide rails are designed to allow easy removal
of the pump without the need for entry into the wetwell
or need to disturb piping. The guide rail should locate the
pump opposite the influent opening preventing stagnate
areas where solids can settle. The basin or pit must be ca-
pable of supporting the weight of the pump and guide rail.
The pit floor must be flat.
